What would you say is your best Steam Deck accessory and why?
I recently just got an 8bitdo Utimate 2 Wireless controllers and I didn't know it will be so good. I used to play with the Gulikit KingKong 2 Pro and although it works fine, the TMR joysticks and charging dock included in the Ultimate 2 Wireless are truly the gamechangers.

Steam Controller Priced at $149 CAD
Sorry if this the wrong sub to ask this question, but why even buy the Steam controller if you aren't going to use the touch pads? For me that's the selling point, but if I didn't need the touch pads I would just stick to an 8bitdo ultimate 2, way more affordable and plenty of paddles/buttons.

Considering getting a controller to use with Steam games. What are the pros and cons of the various types?
8BitDo makes a super solid controller for an unbeatable price. I have am Ultimate 2C and while I tend to prefer KBM in most games, it works fantastically for games that really need a controller. It's a major upgrade from the old 360 controller I was using. Biggest selling point for me was the price.

Steam Controller review slips embargo, controller to cost $99
I went back to a post i saw about the controller bein $100 or more, and most of the comments were basically saying "first party controllers are usually overpriced, valve won't price their controller like that, that's why it'll be cheaper" with a lot of people suggesting it'll be $50 to $60.

Boost on rb got me breaking rbs
First-party Xbox controllers are the worst for this. I was going through a controller every 1-2 months because of this as well. I ended up switching to 8bitdo and now I have the 8bitdo Ultimate 2 and I can't recommend it enough.

Old man needs help
if you need a controller, an 8bitdo ultimate 2c wireless can often be found for ~$20 and does the same thing for casual use

Review: 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless after 1 month
Hey, just wanted to post this review, maybe it will help someone to pick the controller they want. Bought it from official 8BitDo Ali page for $45 (during Back to school sale). I have no relationships with the company or its competitors, also no commercial interest in making this review.
